1948 Mallard
Mallard N730RS
Serial # J-50
History:
Mallard J-50 was built in 1948. Since its construction, it has never been used for charter operations, only for use as an executive aircraft for several corporations before being “retired” for individual use. Mallard J-50 was one of the last Mallards of its serial numbers to be produced, and as a result is one of the LOWEST time Mallards in existence. The aircraft has been kept in a heated hanger, and has undergone major improvements to the interior, exterior, avionics, engines, and bilge compartments. No expense has been spared in maintaining this executive class aircraft. It has also undergone extensive ultrasonic, NDT, x-ray and visual inspections of the wing spar, and has passed with flying colors.
